<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I would like to make a fairy tales basket for my girls. I am looking to buy individual books of each fairy tale. I find their little hands prefer to pick up/leaf through single books rather then one volume book of fairy tales.</p>
<p>Please can you help me?</p>
<p>Could you link to your favourite edition of a certain fairy tale?</p>
<p>I would like to get a beautiful copy of Goldilocks And The Three Bears for my little girls third birthday at the end of march. And a copy of The Magic Porridge Pot for example.</p>
<p>My almost six year old would like a beautiful edition of Little Red Riding Hood....</p>
<p>I would love to build an collection of them this year before they get too old for fairy tales!</p>
<p>I would love the story to be well written and really beautiful illustrations!</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>Rosaleen xxx</p>

<p>I know this isn't really what you're looking for, as it's a collection of stories, but I noticed you were in the UK and wanted to recommend this version of Grimm's Fairy Tales.  The illustrations are beautiful and by Mabel Lucy Attwell;</p>
<p> </p>

I love stuff illustrated by Fred Marcillino.

I shall check out the links, thank your very much! I actually ordered the Little Red Riding Hood you talk about here a few days ago, it has come through, is amazingly beautiful and i am Ok about the ending, but it is pretty intense LOL</p>

<p>After lots of research I have started the basket! Over the weekend I am going to post the ones I have found and had shipped to me...I thought it might be useful for anyone else making a fairytale book basket...</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Golilocks and The Three Bears- <em>Retold and illustrated by Jan Brett:</em></span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325&tag=motheringhud-20&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGoldilocks-Three-Bears-Jan-Brett%2Fdp%2F0698113586" rel="norewrite" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em>http://www.amazon.com/Goldilocks-Three-Bears-Jan-Brett/dp/0698113586</em></span></strong></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just received this book now in paperback format. The illustrations are just gorgeous and very detailed. The bears are drawn quite realistically. I know the children are going to really like this book. I love the way Jan Brett had drawn bears on all the porridge pots and the furniture in the bears house have bears carved into the wood! So sweet!</p>
<p>It is a classic retelling of the story, just lovely!</p>
